<p>I’m warning all you new cats right now, watch out for Stony Brook CSE.
<a href=“http://www.cs.sunysb.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.cs.sunysb.edu</a></p>
<p>With nearly 80 Professors, who are pioneers in their field, in the department already(that’s more than most Ivy-leagues, and those name brand schools, and with the new CS building they will hire more, I’ve heard the goal is 110 quality Professors[including those who are jointly appointed])and graduates like the president of Stanford University, along with a new 100million dollar CS building now in construction, one of the top CS schools is easily Stony Brook University. The CS building alone will probably be the size of some small colleges, and if you take a look at their faculty, prepared to be impressed. Google, Microsoft, Apple actively recruit on campus. In fact, Google recommends all graduates in the world to read the book of one of the professors at Stony Brook before they interview with them. The department already has CEWIT, a core CS building, and now to keep up with growth, a new CS building. Not to mention the ongoing research they do in Brookhaven National lab.</p>
<p>What’s the best? It’s arguably the most affordable CS program on earth, tuition is a pesky little 4000 per semester(although not easy to get into the department, and the 300 level classes are INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING, with MASSIVE projects).</p>
<p>There you go, I let you in on a major secret. Don’t believe me? Look at how the ACM team alone kicks Yale and Columbia’s butt. One must be on some serious drugs to choose Columbia CS over Stony Brook CS – especially when you compare the costs.</p>
